Neovim is a refactor, and sometimes redactor, in the tradition of Vim (whichitself derives from Stevie). It is not a rewrite but a continuation andextension of Vim. Many clones and derivatives exist; some are very clever, butnone are Vim. Neovim strives to be a superset of Vim except for someintentionally-removed misfeatures. It is built for users who want the good partsof Vim, and more.
